School visits to the V&A, Exhibition Road.

Explore architecture and the built environment by visiting the V&A's incredible architecture gallery full of models and drawings from RIBA's collections. We use our world-class collections and exhibitions, to bring the curriculum to life.

Develop your students' critical thinking, teamwork and design skills through activities such as modelmaking, masterplanning, sketching and digital drawing on iPads.

Workshops are led by the RIBA Learning team in the museum's purpose-built learning centre. Workshops are three hours long and include a trip the museum's architecture gallery, a hands-on model making activity and a 30-minute lunch break.
